MADRID -- Real Madrid's much-hyped summer signing collected the ball just outside the box. One touch took the ball away from the nearest defender, and another fired a low, effortless shot past the goalkeeper. The goal extended Madrid's lead over Real Valladolid to 3-0 in added time. Game over.

But this wasn't Kylian Mbappé scoring on his long-awaited home debut at the Santiago Bernabeu. It was another new arrival, Endrick. In fact, Mbappé wasn't even on the pitch. Madrid's No. 9 had been replaced by the Brazilian teenager 10 minutes earlier, with his team taking a precarious 1-0 lead.
